UPDATE!Thanks to your many generous donations during our Kicks for Kids campaign, we’re happy to report that 1,677 pairs of shoes were collected for low-income youth. The shoes will be distributed throughBoys and Girls Clubs of King CountyandMary’s Place,where they’ll help kids start the school year off right. Thank you again for your support!

WHY: Because every kid should start the school year with the confidence a new pair of "kicks" provides

WHEN: Formal shoe collection will take place from August 1 – August 16, 2014

WHERE: All participating Windermere Real Estate offices will serve as collection points where you can drop off new or gently used sneakers (kids' sizes 1-9) from August 1 – August 15.

The Windermere Summer Splash at Green Lake on Saturday, August 16 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. will be the final public drop-off point for sneakers. Look for the Gentle Giant Moving Company van (with a giant sneaker graphic). It will serve as a collection point at the event. The goal will be to fill the truck with sneakers for low-income youth.
